Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Proceedings at the Cushman Celebration, at Plymouth, August 15, 1855: In Commemoration of the Embarkation of the Plymouth Pilgrims From Southampton, England; Together With an Account of the Services at the Grave of Elder Thomas Cushman, August 16, 1855 The following pages appear in print in accordance with the votes of those members of the Cushman family who were present at Plymouth on the occasion of the family gathering for celebrating the 235th anniversary of the day when Robert Cushman, the progenitor of the family, embarked from England to try his fortune in a new world. It may not be improper to state here, very briefly, some of the leading steps in achieving the great project of our forefathers, in which Mr. Cushman took a very active and conspicuous part, and which resulted in the settlement of New England, and the establishment in America of the most liberal government in the known world. Our Pilgrim Fathers, who had very early in the seventeenth century sought in Holland peace and shelter from the intolerant bigotry that existed in their native England, began to think in earnest of transporting themselves and families to the New World, that they might there worship God in their own manner and according to the dictates of their own hearts, unbiassed by the controlling influences of the priests and bishops of established churches.
